Put the oil and lemon juice on a large platter and mix together. Sprinkle the garlic over in an even layer.

Season the chops liberally with salt and pepper, then lay them on the marinade, turn once to coat both sides. Allow to marinate 3-4 hours, if possible, even overnight.

Heat the grill to high heat and sear the chops on one side, turning a quarter turn after about 5 minutes. Allow to cook another 5-7 minutes, then flip to the other side, repeating the quarter turn after the first 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium if using a gas grill or move the chops away from the coals if using a charcoal grill. Close the lid and cook the chops till they reach 145°F. Don't be afraid to use a thermometer if you don't know how 145° feels!

Remove to a platter and let them rest while you get the rest of dinner on the table. The residual heat will continue cooking the chops to the point of perfection!

Bon Appétit!
